[Edit description for Ukraine]

Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe and a land of untouched beauty and rich history. Cities offer exciting points of interest such as incredible palaces or eye catching monuments. You could say that Ukraine is a country where every part is strikingly different to the rest.

You will admire the immensity of Ukraine and its diversity, no matter which part of the country you are visiting, from the unspoilt Carpathian Mountains in the west, to the rolling steppe of southern Ukraine with its mighty river Dnipro, and on to the majesty of Crimea where the mountains tumble straight into the Black Sea.

Kiev and other major Ukrainian cities have gone through renovation works and now stand comparison with many other historical towns and cities across Europe.

More than anything, you are most likely to experience the Ukranian's generosity and welcoming hospitality. The great variety of cultural traditions and different mentalities of the people inhabiting this young country that became independent from Russia in 1990 is remarkable.

To get a complete picture of the country it's best to visit a few cities located in different ends of Ukraine. Start your exploration from the capital city of Kiev, enjoy the sourthern hospitality of Odessa and Yalta and then admire western beauty of Lviv.

Kharkiv - The First Capital of Ukrine - Introduction

Mar 01, 2008 - Apr 04, 2008

Kharkiv, Ukraine -› -› ...

The formation of the square was initiated in the late 1960s concurrently with the construction of the Kursk-Kharkiv-Azov railroad. Now, with the majestic buildings, fountains, flower-beds gladdening our eyes, we can hardly believe that once there was a permanently wet swamp (the so-called Archbishop Levada) there. It was here that the architect A. Ton built one of the first Kharkiv railway stations in 1869. However, in the course of time there emerged a necessity of recon...

We made it!

May 01, 2008 - May 04, 2008

Warsaw, Poland -› Kiev, Ukraine -› ...

Last day in Kiev. I woke up with a start at 8 a.m. thinking that it was much later, when someone opened the apartment door. I got up, showered and dressed quickly. Turned out that Michal had been up since 6 and had already been out and about • to have a coffee and read a newspaper. He had to settle for another coffee when we were ready • at the same place we had been to before called “софе хоУз” • Coffee House! There were a few final things we wanted to see befo...

Entering the borderlands

Jun 21, 2008 - Jul 05, 2008

Kiev, Ukraine -› Lviv, Ukraine -› ...

This morning we walked around the Lavra Monastery complex in Kiev. The complex is huge, encompassing many Churches, squares, museums and two catacombs. It once housed over a thousand monks, now there are 120 monks (but with an average age of 35, it is not the remnants of a dying community, unlike western European religious centres). The complex was started in 1051 by Saints Antony and Feodosiy during the reign of the Kievian Rus. The catacombs are the oldest part of the complex, with h...

The VD-One Store

Nov 10, 2007 - Jun 02, 2008

Naxcivan, Azerbaijan -› Baku, Azerbaijan -› ...

Walking down the streets of beautiful Kiev, I was shocked to come across the VD-One store. (For my EFL readers, in English VD is short for Venereal Disease or one of the many diseases a person can get by partaking in risky sexual practices.) At first I consider the possibility that the store owner misspelled what he or she wanted to call his/her store, as "VD-Won" would make more sense than "VD-One". Then, I thought, "Now there is store where people just get VD and cut out the mid...
